Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

As the first rays of dawn pierced the thin mist over the Pacific Ocean, golden sunlight bathed the white sand beaches of Star Moon Island. This usually secluded and tranquil private island, rarely open to the public, shed its tranquility and welcomed an unprecedented grand spectacle.

"boom--"

"Buzzing—"

Starting at six in the morning, the airspace above the island and the surrounding sea was filled with the constant roar of engines and the buzzing of air currents, and there was never a moment of peace.

The density of aircraft takeoffs and landings on the island's private airport runway is comparable to that of a top-tier international airport.

One after another, top-of-the-line business jets from Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault Falcon, guided by dedicated escort vehicles, orderly drove into their parking positions. These top-tier private jets, usually worth hundreds of millions and rarely seen, now densely filled the entire tarmac, their sheer number creating a spectacular sight.

On the vast, blue sea, there is also a magnificent and spectacular scene.

One after another, exquisitely crafted and expensive superyachts cut through the waves, heading towards Xingyue Island. Under the full escort and guidance of the "Dragon Shield" security speedboats, they were neatly moored in the deep waters outside the lagoon, lined up in formation, resembling a top-level exclusive maritime grand ceremony.

This wedding, which was always touted as low-key and private, appeared understated and simple, but the caliber, connections, and influence of the guests were enough to shake and draw the attention of the world's top powers.

……

"Oh my god, Lao Li, pinch me! Am I seeing things?"

Fan Laogui, who was in charge of greeting and guiding guests at the wedding, stood beside the red carpeted dock passageway, dressed in a smart tuxedo. Watching the group of influential figures stepping off yachts and helicopters one after another, his legs trembled slightly uncontrollably, his heart filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

"Stop pinching me! I can't hold it in any longer!"

Standing beside him was Lei Tie, an old acquaintance who now held a significant position in Ningzhou, overseeing local security. At that moment, Lei Tie was constantly wiping the cold sweat beading on his forehead, his expression one of restraint and awe.

Both of them were former subordinates of Liu Ming, and they were fortunate enough to be allowed to come to the island to help manage the wedding reception and preparations.

They originally thought they were just there to lend a hand and support the event, but after witnessing the successive appearances of top figures from all walks of life, they truly realized that the significance of this wedding far exceeded their expectations.

"That silver-haired, vigorous, and composed old man in front of us, that industry giant who has been deeply involved in the top-level planning of the national industries, actually came to the scene in person?" Old Fan lowered his voice, his tone trembling with barely concealed emotion.

"Not just him, look further ahead."

Lei Tie swallowed hard, his eyes filled with awe: "Following closely behind are the meritorious high-ranking generals and marshals of the war zone, and the refined elder behind them is the core leader in charge of the national talent coordination work."

"This is no ordinary wedding banquet; it's clearly a gathering of top leaders from all walks of life in the country, a veritable who's who of the elite, all gathered on this island!"

The two men were considered prominent figures in Ningzhou, having seen their share of grand occasions. Yet, standing on either side of the red carpet, they subconsciously held their breath, daring not to be the slightest bit presumptuous. They stood bowing respectfully, carefully checking the invitations of each guest, and humbly welcoming these legendary figures who were usually only seen in official reports.

And this is only the lineup of domestic guests.

As the sun slowly rises and morning light spills across the seas, top guests from across the ocean arrive one after another to attend the banquet on the island.

……

"Oh! My dear Liu! My friend! Congratulations on your marriage!"

Thomas, President of M Group Greater China, dressed in a sophisticated and traditional Western-style suit, exuded elegance and the demeanor of a seasoned gentleman. From a distance, he proactively opened his arms, a warm smile on his face, and strode towards Liu Ming in the reception area.

Just half a month ago, he lost to Liu Ming in a multi-party business negotiation in the capital and signed a cooperation agreement that put the group in a very passive position.

But today, there was not a trace of resentment or grudge on his face, only utmost respect, as well as a deliberate display of enthusiasm and goodwill.

In the world of capital games, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Having witnessed firsthand Liu Ming's groundbreaking technological prowess and unshakeable global deterrent power, major overseas capital giants have long since come to terms with reality.

Insisting on confrontation will only lead to complete elimination; the only way to achieve long-term success is to take the initiative to show goodwill, cooperate deeply, and form a win-win partnership.

"Mr. Thomas, welcome."

Liu Ming wore a custom-made black tuxedo with subtle patterns, paired with a sophisticated dark red bow tie. Shedding his usual ruthless and decisive aura, he now appeared gentle, handsome, and dignified—a refined and elegant groom with tender eyes.

He remained calm and composed, smiling as he raised his hand to shake Thomas's hand, his posture poised and elegant.

"Liu, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by our group's board of directors. It's just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it."

Thomas held a luxurious black velvet gift box with both hands, his attitude extremely humble and respectful.

The lone wolf beside him stepped forward and steadily took the gift box, gently opening it.

The box contained no tacky checks or jewelry, but only a neat and formal property transfer document—a full and gratuitous transfer agreement for two large overseas rare metal mines under the name of M Group!

This impressive gift has an overall market valuation far exceeding 10 billion US dollars!

A world-class large-scale mine as a wedding gift!

The group of top domestic businessmen, accustomed to weathering many storms, witnessed this scene and were secretly shocked, gasping in astonishment. These top overseas investors had truly spared no expense and gone to great lengths to curry favor with Liu Ming in order to secure a cooperation opportunity.

But this is just the beginning of countless grand gifts.

The head of a leading European optics company presented a complete set of top-of-the-line imaging equipment, a one-of-a-kind set made of rare meteorite material and handcrafted. It also included three lifetime exclusive high-end service vouchers from top European private medical institutions, allowing unlimited access throughout the year.

A special representative from the Middle Eastern royal family delivered a top-quality, purebred Arabian Akhal-Teke horse, along with a super private yacht with an extremely luxurious interior and top-of-the-line features, which was quietly moored in the island's harbor, exuding an imposing aura.

These once powerful and influential figures on the international stage, the helmsmen of overseas capital and the top dignitaries from abroad, have all set aside their status and glory at this moment.

They lined up in an orderly fashion, stepping forward one by one to present their meticulously prepared, exorbitantly priced gifts, all in an effort to leave an exceptional impression on this legendary figure who has reshaped the global landscape and led the development of a new era.

……

At 10:00 a.m., all guests from home and abroad were in place, and the grand event officially began.

Inside the magnificent and luxurious giant crystal banquet hall, elegantly dressed guests mingled amidst dazzling lights, toasting each other in a refined and grand atmosphere.

This place brings together the world's top wealth, connections, and resources, a pinnacle event for the world's elite. Every guest present is either a business tycoon with assets worth hundreds of billions or a high-ranking official who has made outstanding contributions to his region.

But everyone in the room knew their place and kept quiet, no one made a loud noise, and no one flaunted their status or background.

Everyone knows that the only protagonists of this grand event that everyone is watching today are Liu Ming and his lover.

"bite--"

The clear and melodious bells rang out, signaling the approaching auspicious time for the wedding.

Just as all the guests were filled with anticipation and waiting for the bride's stunning appearance, the giant ultra-high-definition screen at the front of the hall suddenly lit up slowly.

The symphony orchestra, which was playing softly, immediately stopped, and the noisy banquet hall instantly fell silent.

Thousands of top guests from around the world held their breath, all eyes focused on the giant screen in front of them.

On the screen appeared the figure of an elder with a dignified bearing, kind eyes, and a calm and composed demeanor. He sat upright in a solemn and elegant office space, dressed in a well-fitting Zhongshan suit. His gentle eyes and demeanor exuded a transcendent air and integrity.

"Xiao Liu, there are a few more girls."

The deep, warm voice, transmitted clearly through the high-definition speakers, resonated throughout the banquet hall. The tone conveyed both the elder's earnest expectations for the younger generation and the composure and wisdom gained through life's experiences.

"Today is a joyous day for your marriage. Due to various commitments, I am unable to attend in person to congratulate you and officiate your wedding. Therefore, I have specially recorded this video to send you my personal blessings."

"On behalf of the expectations of the nation and the people, and in my personal capacity, I sincerely thank you."

"Thank you for stepping forward in times of crisis to safeguard the peace and stability of the region; thank you for your deep cultivation of cutting-edge fields, your courage to explore and innovate, and your pioneering spirit; thank you for upholding the right path and your commitment to justice and righteousness, and for staying true to your original aspirations."

"It is you who, with your passion and dedication, with your youthful spirit and tireless efforts, have safeguarded a peaceful, stable, and prosperous world for this land."

A genuine emotion welled up in the elder's eyes, and his tone became even gentler and more solemn.

"Today you are starting a new family and embarking on a new chapter in your lives. I have not prepared any valuable gifts as a congratulatory present, but I have personally inscribed four characters of calligraphy to give to you two newlyweds."

The camera slowly zooms out, the scene unfolds, and the elder raises his hand to pick up the calligraphy scroll on the table, slowly unrolling it.

With flowing, powerful strokes and rich, deep ink, four bold characters, seemingly penetrating the paper, immediately caught everyone's eye:

Guo Shi Wushuang

May you stay together year after year, grow old together, and never regret your life. May our land be safe and sound, the world be at peace, and may you enjoy tranquility year after year.

……

As the video slowly ended, the vast crystal banquet hall fell into an absolute silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a brief moment of silence!

Thunderous applause erupted, surging like a tidal wave, sweeping across the entire hall and echoing for a long time!

The top domestic guests present all had tears in their eyes, filled with respect, and applauded with all their might, their hearts filled with shock and emotion.

While the overseas capital giants could not fully comprehend the profound weight behind the words "unparalleled national hero," they truly felt the supreme recognition and unparalleled honor bestowed upon Liu Ming.

What is the ultimate level of prestige in the world? This scene before us is the truest and most exquisite interpretation!

A personalized video message conveyed blessings from afar, and a handwritten calligraphy was presented to the newlyweds. Throughout history, weddings with such top-tier standards and unparalleled privileges are extremely rare and unprecedented!

Liu Ming stood quietly at the end of the red carpet, gazing at the four profound and powerful characters on the screen, her eyes brimming with undisguised, intense emotion.

He took a deep breath, slowly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and slowly turned his head.

His gaze was gentle yet firm, settling precisely on the crystal door that was slowly opening inward.

The solemn, melodious, and sacred wedding march slowly played, gently enveloping the entire banquet hall.

The woman he had poured his heart and soul into protecting, dressed in a stunning wedding gown adorned with scattered starlight and the first snow of the season, was graceful and ethereal. She was walking slowly towards him, bathed in gentle light and shadow.
